Cheap lunch

The best kind of lunch is obviously bento. Sometimes, though, making bento becomes too much work (so my wife told me). The solution, I've found is not to run to the Lawson next door and shell out 600 or 700 yen just for something to eat. Better and cheaper than that is to cook some rice and pack it and some microwaveable curry as lunch. The total price comes out to a little over 100 yen which beats the prices at the convenience store hands down.
